Creator's Key Takeaways

It literally is a floating boutique hotel. You get pretty much everything you'd expect included will be included.

The rivers were there way before the roads were, right? So to have the essence of being able to get off the ship, walk into the main square.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider arriving in Paris a day early to adjust to the time zone and avoid jet lag.
Download the Avalon Go app ahead of time to use the journaling feature for photos.
Inform the cruise director of dietary restrictions on day one for a personalized meeting with the chef.
